ROVIGO – Definitely challenging away match for Itas Mutua Baseball Softball Club Rovigo. Today the rossoblù will visit Collecchio for the double challenge valid for the fifth round of Group B of Serie A baseball. A comparison that sees the team of coach Soto Diaz leave without the favors of the prediction, all biased towards an opponent who aims at the top of the standings together with the other battleship Fortitudo Bologna.
After the draw taken last weekend on the home diamond against Ronchi dei Legionari, the spirit of the rossoblù is still high and there is a desire to do well even in Emilia to fuel the ambition to follow up on the positive streak that began three days ago. If this were not the case, the hopes of Itas Mutua Rovigo to fight for the qualification to the Poule Scudetto would perhaps be definitively extinguished, but the seasonal objective is from the beginning to remain in the category that will be up for grabs in the summer phase.
In Collecchio the rossoblùs will take the field with the usual optimism, aware, however, that some training problems will have to be addressed. Buin is not back yet, his return is scheduled for next week. Salvatore will also be missing, stopped by the sports judge. Not at their best, but still eligible, Frigato and Bernardi. Pizzoli recovered in extremis. The receiver Salgado will certainly be there: the fracture in a finger of his hand seems to have been overcome and the good return just last weekend against Ronchi dei Legionari, with six hits out of nine batting rounds, bodes well for the rossoblù attack. Race one is scheduled for the afternoon at 3pm while game two will be played at 20.30 with direct on www.fibstv.com: a great opportunity to support the team of coach Soto Diaz in the delicate commitment even from a distance.
The challenge that awaits the A2 softball girls is also prohibited. Veterans from a good draw at Castionese, the rossoblù on Sunday will return to tread the diamond in via Vittorio Veneto to face the leaders Maceratamain candidate for qualification in Group B. The match is valid for the third round of Group B of the Serie A2 softball championship, race one is scheduled for 11.
The ambitious goal of the rossoblùs is to kick the very strong roster from the Marche region winning at least one of the two matches of the day, but it will not be easy to hit him. Defensive consistency and, above all, effectiveness and incisiveness in the batting box will be needed. Above all, the important thing will be to continue the growth path of the many young players available to coaches Javier Pino Soto, Adriano Morabito and Cristina Pollato, to lay the foundations for a championship as close as possible to the top positions.
